Chapter 358 The Ghost That Stole Everything
As soon as Rishi crossed the imaginary line that separated the middle region from the outer region, He sensed the presence of the stronger Beasts. Most of them were in the late stages of the Elite Stage. He felt like multiple eyes were looking at him.
Rishi passed by without fighting with another beast, and soon the eyes shifted from him. He saw that there were many precious elixirs here. The problem was that a Beast guarded each one. The Creatures here have occupied their areas, and the fights were rare.
Here, only big wars took place between the two species. It was fierce. Rishi first surveyed the area around him. He then looked for the weakest species. Each creature here had some amount of Dragon Blood inside them. It was a pity that only a drop could be refined from their bodies.
Rishi needed to kill every Beast around him and then refine their blood for days to fill a bottle. The worst part was that the Dragon Blood inside them was low-quality, while he wanted a higher-quality one. He soon found his target; there was a small area at the corner that Draconic Boar Beasts ruled.
They were two meters long. Their heads were slightly elongated, and their teeth were bigger and sharper. They were occupying an area where yellow-colored Dragon Grass grew. Their bodies were covered in thick scales, which increased their defense further.
If you looked at their individual strengths, they were not the weakest; their numbers made them appear weak. They were only five, of whom three were only one meter tall; they looked like infants. Now Rishi had many choices: eliminating them all in one go or chasing them away.
It looked like two Draconic wolves had been separated from their herd. At last, they decided to find a place and live there. He was either going to eliminate them all or spare them all; he had seen the pain of losing someone close and didn't want these happy little infants to do the same.
Many eyes were watching him. If he revealed more strength, then, who knows, they might group up to attack him and become wary of him. While he was not scared of them, this would make it very hard for him to steal Elixirs.
He challenged the Draconic Boars and fought with them for some time. Before chasing them away, he acted like he was injured and retreated. The multiple Beasts watching him decided not to worry about him further. This was something that happened regularly here.
Every Beast here needed to be careful of the ones around him. They might get attacked by them and lose some part of their area. Rishi waited patiently for the sun to set. As soon as there was darkness, he disappeared from his place and started moving.
He moved swiftly; this time he was also replacing the Real Elixirs with their duplicate copies made by Shadow Energy. While this could not fool the thieves for long, It gave him more time to raid every area. After some time, he appeared in his area again and took the yellow Dragon grass. He then looted his neighbors before leaving the area.
The region, which was mostly silent at this time, suddenly became filled with the roars of multiple beasts. Many of them discovered that their treasure had been stolen. They started looking for the thief and checking every area.
Unknown to them, a figure appeared in the neighboring region. He turned into a boy with Silver hair and a smile on his face. He was filled with happiness when he saw the treasures he had looted. He found a secluded place and entered it to check his loot.
He soon found various elixirs that were precious. He also found many yellow and Orange Dragon Grass stalks. He also found small blackish-red mushrooms that released a strange smell. He used his inspecting skills on them, and soon his heart started beating excitedly.
[NAME: Dragonblood Mushrooms
INFORMATION: Mutated mushrooms that tasted the Dragon Blood and mutated later started to grow on the corpses of the dead creatures with the Dragon Bloodline.
USE: Can be used to strengthen muscle tissues and veins inside a body; Can even nourish organs if consumed regularly with Meat of Beasts with Dragon Bloodline.]
"But most creatures with Dragon bloodlines would not taste good. Why am I suddenly regretting letting those Draconic Boars escape?" He said in a humorous way.
"There might be a big herd of them nearby; I would store a lot of their meat," he said as his mouth started dripping with water. "Let's focus on the situation right now."
"It's time for me to raid this area too; this time, I will only collect the elixirs that are most precious in that area," He said in a determined tone. He used his Shadow Sense and scanned the area around him. He started stealing the elixirs again, but this time he focused more on the precious ones, which increased his gathering speed.
He wanted to steal more, but when he suddenly heard loud Roars around him, he used his 'Shadow Cloak' technique and left this area. It was not wise to be more greedy now. He kept moving to cross this region, and soon he found himself in a swamp.
He maintained his stealth and climbed a large tree. He created a Hamrock bed made up of ropes created by Shadow Energy before using a spell to conceal the area around him before falling asleep. He wanted to be in optimal condition tomorrow; the Creatures were getting stronger as he went deeper.
He now needed to be more careful. Stealing only at night would be best, as the strength of the stealth provided by his technique increases a lot at night. He soon fell asleep. He had installed multiple traps that would activate when a Beast appeared near him.
As he was sleeping happily, someone not very far from him was not that happy. A girl could be seen trying to sleep. But near the place was a group of multiple Droconic crocodiles. She was too scared to lose her guard here. While she had found some precious elixirs in the Swamp, it was a place she didn't like at all.
It was filled with creepy and disgusting creatures that were lurking in the shadows. The mud stinked, making breathing harder, while big one inch long mosquitoes constantly buzzed around her. 'It looks like today I will not get much sleep,' She was unhappy. She had been mentally exhausted due to using spells continuously. It was then that she suddenly felt a cold, comfortable feeling. She looked at the strange black ring she wore on her left ring finger.
The strange and beautiful patterns on it were shining purple, "What's wrong with it?" asked Kajal. It was then that a paper appeared in front of her. She read it, and her eyes widened in surprise.
She touched a pattern in the ring and supplied it with her mana. The next moment, black smoke released from it, and a Barrier appeared around her. Nothing happened for a while, but as few minutes passed Kajal sensed that the creatures around were leaving, and a smile appeared on her face.
She kissed the ring before her face became red when she realized what she had done. With the help of the ring, she was able to finally fall asleep.
